Summary

Part of ENG-843
Adds a new 'text' variant to Button and uses it instead of plain html elements in:

  • settings screen
  • retry send button
  • user list in thread composer

to keep the web app more consistent.

This diff also fixes visual bugs with retry message:
Before:

After:

Test Plan

Check if

  • settings screen
  • retry send button
  • user list in thread composer

look and work correctly.

css.retryButtonText applies text-transform: uppercase

Instead of doing that in CSS can we do it here? Just change Retry? to RETRY?

(At a high level, would be good to provide a bit more context in the Description section to make things a bit easier for reviewers.)

There's a css block:

div.failedSend {
  text-transform: uppercase;
  (...)
}

that previously applied to the "Retry?", but now that we use Button it had to be copied to retryButtonText. So I just kept the old behaviour, but I don't see any reason why we couldn't just use RETRY? (and <span>DELIVERY FAILED.</span>).

Removed the text-transform: uppercase. Fixed a bug with buttons in thread composer and this resulted in a slight change in visuals (see the updated summary). But that could be easily changed if it's undesirable.

Is text-transform: uppercase better for accessibility than just making the text all-caps? I'm not sure if it is, but I think that was the main reason for doing that

According to this article it's better for screen-readers (and it's better for a few other reasons but I don't think they are applicable to our example). I think we should change it back to text-transform.

Sounds good, thanks for explaining + linking to the article.

Looks good, I would just address the text-transform: uppercase comments before landing

Added text-transform: uppercase back. This update also fixes two bugs that introduce changes to visuals so I'm requesting a review again.

  • the RETRY? button didn't change color depending on chat color (I didn't notice it before because I was testing on a blue chat)
  • The DELIVERY FAILED text was black so it wasn't visible. I wanted to create a task for this later, but while adding text-transform back I think it made sense to do this here instead of a one-line change later.

Please see the summary for images.

Update. After changes to :hover behaviour in the newest revision of the previous diff, there are no longer visual changes in the thread composer.

Fix small issue with RETRY? button.
